HIV-1 RNA Quantitation by TMA

COLLECT: Lavender (EDTA) or ACD (yellow)
Whole blood can be stored at 2°C to 30°C with the plasma needing removed from the cells within 4-6 hours after collection. The separated plasma must be frozen between -20°C to -70°C.
Min. 1.2 mL of plasma is required.

Reference Values:

Not Detected

Note: An interpretation of "Not detected" does not rule out the presence
or PCR inhibitors in the patient specimen or HIV-1 RNA
concentrations below the level of detection of the test. Care should
be taken when interpreting any single viral load determination.

The quantitative range for this assay is 1.47 to 7.0 log copies/mL
(30 to 10,000,000 copies/mL).
Note: Specimen results exceeding the Upper Limit of Quantification
(ULoQ) will be diluted.
